Tuberculosis is known for its short name TB. This is an infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs. The cause Tb can spread easily to person to person when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Most people infected with these bacteria that cause TB don’t have symptoms. If symptoms occur, mostly cough and weight loss and fever. Treatment isn’t required for those who are infected without symptoms. A person with symptoms requires long course treatment with multiple antibiotics.
